Heteroduplex-induced mutagenesis in mammalian cells.
We have shown previously that heteroduplexes containing single-stranded loops are repaired efficiently in monkey cells, but not always correctly: 2% of the repair products acquired mutations within a 350 base-pair target (Weiss, U. and Wilson, J.H., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1123-1126, 1987). The structures of the mutant genomes, which are described here, are consistent with an error-prone ...
متن کاملTranscriptional Mutagenesis Induced by 8-Oxoguanine in Mammalian Cells
Most of the somatic cells of adult metazoans, including mammals, do not undergo continuous cycles of replication. Instead, they are quiescent and devote most of their metabolic activity to gene expression. The mutagenic consequences of exposure to DNA-damaging agents are well documented, but less is known about the impact of DNA lesions on transcription. To investigate this impact, we developed...
متن کاملRadon, tobacco-specific nitrosamine and mutagenesis in mammalian cells.
The mutagenicity of 4-methylnitrosamine-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone (NNK), either alone or in combination with low dose alpha particle irradiation, was examined using the human-hamster hybrid (A(L)) cell assay. NNK induced a dose-dependent toxicity in A(L) cells. In combination with a 25 cGy dose of alpha particles, the induced survival fraction fell within the statistical range of the calculated va...
متن کاملTranscriptional mutagenesis reduces splicing fidelity in mammalian cells
Splicing fidelity is essential to the maintenance of cellular functions and viability, and mutations or natural variations in pre-mRNA sequences and consequent alteration of splicing have been implicated in the etiology and progression of numerous diseases. The extent to which transcriptional errors or lesion-induced transcriptional mutagenesis (TM) influences splicing fidelity is not currently...
متن کاملMeasurement of Heme Synthesis Levels in Mammalian Cells.
Heme serves as the prosthetic group for a wide variety of proteins known as hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochromes. It is involved in various molecular and cellular processes such as gene transcription, translation, cell differentiation and cell proliferation. The biosynthesis levels of heme vary across different tissues and cell types and is altered in diseased conditions ...
